Professional and Qualified Backflow Prevention Services in El Paso

When running a shower, you expect to see clean and clear water. The clean water you use in your home is kept and maintained in water supply systems. There are instances, however, in which water supply systems can become compromised. In these instances, a flow reversal causes undesirable liquid, gas, or solids to backflow into the clean water supply systems. Backflow prevention is an important part of living comfortably at home. New Age Plumbing offers backflow prevention services for homeowners who are facing backflow issues.

Backflow and Cross-Connection

Backflow describes the event in which an unwanted reversal of flow into a potable water supply occurs. This undesirable flow is mostly made up of liquid but there are instances in which gases or suspended solids may also enter the water supply. Simply put, backflow is not something you to want to happen to your water supply. It is important to keep potable and nonpotable water separated. The words translate to “safe to drink” and “unsafe to drink,” respectively. So having nonpotable water in your clean water supply isn’t something you want.

When backflow occurs, your water supply becomes compromised with undesirable liquid. But how exactly does this happen? It all starts with a cross-connection. Cross-connection is the undesirable connection between a homeowner’s potable water system and any source of nonpotable water. Backflow is a common result of failing or reduced water pressure, water main bursts, or freezing pipes, to name a few examples. The best way to prevent backflow is by seeking professional plumbing assistance.
